How Does First Homes Work?
The First Homes scheme is a policy that provides discounted homes to eligible buyers in England who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford one.

Under this scheme, first-time buyers can buy a new-build home at Chapmans Yard at a discount of 30% on the homes full market value.
These properties must be purchased by first-time buyers. If buying as a couple, neither partner can have previously owned a home. Otherwise, the properties are bought and sold as normal.
If and when the first-time buyer decides to sell the property, the home will be independently valued, and the scheme discount will be re-applied to this new value for the next owner.

The following criteria apply to all purchasers involved in buying the home:

-You must be a first-time buyer.
-You'll also need to buy within your local area, with the intention of living in the property (it cannot be a holiday home or buy-to-let).
-Your combined income must not exceed £80,000.
-Connells Estate Agents will need to financially qualify prospective purchasers.

The scheme requires first time buyers to purchase their property that covers at least half of the purchase value. With the discount in place, the mortgage requirement will be lower.
